Actually took the camera along on our hike this afternoon.
We got rained on a bit…
We left a bit late today so weren’t out as long as usual – its getting dark a lot earlier!
See the rainbow through the trees??
We detoured off the road up along one of the manky old logging tracks… seems like the fungi have taken over!
As you can see its a bit of a sloshy path!
Up, up and up we go… this hill goes on for a while… and you think you are at the top – then it turns out you’re not. Then it goes up again MUCH more steeply lol. Not kind at all!
Puff, puff, pant, pant. Stopping to take a snap and get my breath back!
Because we are so grown up – we found this funny…
Then back over the road and down another dodgy logging track
These tracks slow us up more going down than coming back up. (That was a weird sentence – but I know what I meant) Its actually a little hard to capture just how ‘down’ it is at times!!
Mind you, I am not exactly Ms Speedy coming up them either!!!
Overall it wasn’t too bad – sometimes in the dry its worse as the gravel can just slip under your feet! Then its hiking on your bum time!!! Ouch!
By the time we got down it was raining pretty steadily, so I tucked the camera under my raincoat and enjoyed the rest of the hike back to the car on less demanding paths!
A lot of the strict lockdowns in our area have been lifted – just back to asking people to only go out for essential trips/exercising and observing social distancing.
From what we can gather, Jeffs ward should be ready to reopen midweek – yet to hear anything official.
Hope everything is going well in your part of the world and you are staying safe and healthy!
Cheers
